Upstairs in Liuquan's residence, Li Weijian glanced at the mess, first only slightly happy, and then frowned.

He used the carriage of Jiafu, and now it stopped in front of the gate of Liuquanju, if Jia Rong and Jia Qiang caught a glimpse of it, I was afraid that it would definitely implicate him afterwards.

Li Weijian secretly thought in his heart, this Zhou An is also insidious, and this move is clearly provoking himself and the Jia family.

Jingshi is a place where talents gather, and you must be extremely careful in your actions, otherwise you will fall into a trap if you don't check.

Thinking about this festival, where does Li Weijian dare to continue to watch fun? Immediately walked downstairs quickly, called Wu Haiping, and hurried back.

Wu Haiping drove for a while, turned around and whispered: "Childe, those two sons and brothers were beaten, just to have fun." Why don't you park the carriage in the alley and go around by yourself? ”

"What do you think? This matter is not my opinion, let's go back as usual, so as not to be late for a moment and a half, and then be suspicious. ”

"Childe has a point...... It's just not refreshing. Wu Haiping shook his whip and said: "It's me, and I'll have fun in the crowd." Dare to calculate me? Grandmother! ”

"So you're the coachman, I'm the master." Li Weijian teased happily, and without waiting for Wu Haiping to reply, he lifted the curtain and handed over a stack of silver tickets without any fireworks.

Wu Haiping turned his head and glanced at it, and was suddenly a little confused: "Childe, who are you?" ”

"Take it, since Qianxue is with you, you can't let the girl's family suffer hardship, take these to spend first, and then tell the master when it's not enough."

"Eh, that's what I said." Wu Haiping happily accepted the silver ticket and twisted it a little, this is two hundred taels of silver!

He worked in Jinling for a year, but he mixed thirty or forty taels of silver, and he could support his family. These two hundred mothers of silver are saved, enough to last for seven or eight years.

Wu Haiping was so happy that his back molars were exposed, and he sighed: "I have followed my son for half a year, and now I finally see the money back." ”

Li Weijian smiled and said: "You follow with your heart, in the future, your good son is indispensable!" ”

Wu Haiping took advantage of the situation and said: "Don't worry, son, you can look at it in the future!" ”

Li Weijian had a smile on his face and didn't say anything else. The curtain was put down, and he secretly sighed in his heart, he still had a thin family background, and there was no one available around him.

Wu Haiping has a lot to do with the Zhongshun Palace, and he must not only use it, but also guard against it. This is to raise the threshold for outsiders to buy Wu Haiping, lest Wu Haiping sell himself if he gets the benefits of the two jujubes.

After two years of receiving Xiuying, Wu Haiping became his cheap brother-in-law, and when the relationship is close, he will naturally worry that he will not sell himself easily.

As he pondered, a shout came from the back compartment, followed by a rider across the carriage.

Immediately, a small guy eagerly arched his hand: "The little one is the little guy next to Uncle Rong of Ningguo Mansion, dare to ask which uncle is sitting in the car?" Please also make it convenient, Uncle Rong and Second Master Qiang were ambushed, and they will be unable to move, so please ask the uncle in the car to take a handle and send people back to the house. ”

Wu Haiping frowned, and he was about to scold when he opened his mouth. Behind him, the curtain was raised, revealing Li Weijian's extremely surprised face: "Brother Rong, Brother Qiang, what's wrong?" ”

"Uh...... I've seen the thrifty fourth master. ”

The little guy sneered on his face, knowing that Jia Rong and Jia Qiang had calculated Li Weijian before, and they would still need someone to help them, don't say that they were the two, this little guy was awkward in his heart.

The little guy endured the awkwardness, and after making a long story short, Li Weijian frowned and said, "In broad daylight, where did the playful idler come from?" Can you report to the official? ”

The little servant said: "The officials of Shuntian Mansion have come early, but the group of people slipped away quickly, and I am afraid that I will not be able to find anyone for a while." ”

Li Weijian nodded and said, "Hey, that's what I said." Haiping, turn around and pick up Brother Rong and Brother Qiang. As he spoke, he opened the curtain and jumped out of the carriage, pointed to the inner city gate in front of him and said, "It's not far from left and right, I'll just walk back." ”

Wu Haiping pouted and said, "That is, you are kind-hearted, and you have replaced me...... Hum! ”

"Don't talk weird, go pick up people!"

Wu Haiping didn't say anything more, found an alley, turned the carriage, and walked back with the little guy.

Li Weijian walked slowly, and walked towards Rongguo's mansion. After a while, Wu Haiping drove the carriage past him, and then squeezed his eyebrows at Li Weijian.

Li Weijian didn't know what he meant, but he didn't know what he meant, but he didn't go far, and the wheels just pressed into a pit, and suddenly there was a scream like killing a pig in the carriage: "Bison!" You won't be able to catch a car! ”

Li Weijian smiled secretly in his heart, thinking that there are these two guys on this road!

This walk is naturally not comparable to the carriage and horse, and when it returns to Rongguo Mansion, it will be the second quarter of the first day of Shen. At the end of February, the weather became warmer, Li Weijian walked sweating, and when the wind and sand blew, he was a little disgraced when he entered his own small courtyard.

Hongyu greeted him, and immediately handed over the handkerchief: "How did the fourth master get this?" ”

Li Weijian said happily: "Don't mention it, I bumped into Brother Rong and Brother Qiang halfway and got beaten somehow, so I gave the carriage to the two of them." ”

Hongyu was taken aback: "Is the fourth master okay?" ”

"I didn't take two more steps, where did it come from?"

"That's good—"

At this time, Qingwen also came out, and when she heard what Li Weijian said, she suddenly said with a small face: "The fourth master is really kind, who do you think will take care of if you change others?" ”

Li Weijian didn't answer, but asked Qingwen and Hongyu: "Are you still coughing?" ”

Qingwen said, "It's good." The garlic juice of the fourth master is really useful, and after eating it for two days, his throat is much more comfortable. ”

Li Weijian didn't correct Qingwen's rhetoric, only Shi Shiran entered the main room, waited for Xiangling to fetch water, cleaned her hands and face, and changed into clean clothes before she sat down to rest.

After this meal, Hongyu picked up the food box and asked Li Weijian what he wanted to eat, Li Weijian casually ordered two things, Hongyu took some silver from Qingwen and walked away quickly.

Today, the Rongguo Mansion is calm, Li Weijian asked a few words, and then secretly thought about it.

It was supposed to be the intention of going out today, and sure enough, I bumped into Zhou Changshi. As the saying goes, there is no impermeable wall, and he holds the shares of Yicheng Water Company in his hand, but he is afraid that Ming'er will have to spread it.

Since the policy of reluctance to sell has been set, it is naturally not good to go out and show up again, and it will always take a few days to talk about it. It's Jiafuli, I'm afraid that I will be able to hear the movement tomorrow, right?

He didn't know that the East and West Mansions had already received a letter.

Ningguo Mansion.

In the main hall of the three hugging summer and five main halls, Jia Zhen was calm and concentrating, lifting the pen and slowly sketching, and when the pen and ink fell, a picture of a beauty jumped on the paper.

The concubines around came up and praised them without words, but Jia Zhen was full of shame.

Some time ago, her daughter-in-law Qin Keqing was sick, good or bad, and she invited the imperial doctors of the two prefectures for consultation, and the decoction did not get better when she was cooking and eating.

Today, I got a letter from the yamen, saying that the saint had mercy on the nobles and allowed them to pay one or three to buy the shares of the water company. According to the grade, Jia Zhen got a share of 9,000 shares.

These silver coins are no more, no less, Jia Zhen doesn't care, and pays them as soon as she makes up her mind. As for the fact that Li Weijian had a share in his hand, although he heard about it, he didn't think much about it, and carved most of Jia Zhen's thoughts on his daughter-in-law.

Shi Shiran sighed, and suddenly saw that a few concubines were not interested, so he coaxed the flies and waved his hand: "Let's all go down, I'll be quiet alone." ”

Jia Zhen said nothing in the house, and several concubines didn't dare to touch their heads, and they walked away in a moment.

After a while, the steward Yu Lu suddenly came to ask for a meeting. Jia Zhen patiently let her in, and Yu Lu said when she saw the courtesy: "The little one heard a thing, and he said that he couldn't heal the young grandmother's body, so I don't know whether to say it or not." ”

Jia Zhen was shocked when she heard this, and scolded: "How many generations of slaves, should you still say such a thing?" Come on! ”

Yu Lu bowed, and hurriedly said: "The little one listened to the people of Xifu, saying that the cousin of the eldest grandmother, the fourth master of Jian, was holding a prescription in his hand, and he was probably an immortal prescription obtained from Maoshan Mountain. Regardless of the symptoms, take two doses of certain medicine to get rid of the disease. ”

"Really?" Jia Zhen was immediately overjoyed.

Yu Lu said: "The little one inquired carefully, Miss Lin next to the old lady was sick again some time ago, and the fourth master of Jian sent a jar of medicine, and she was well after taking it for two days; It is said that the maid in the fourth master's room has contracted the wind and cold these days, and she eats in that way. ”

Jia Zhen clasped her palms together and got up, walked back and forth a few steps with her hands in her hands, and said with a happy face: "You go and make a post for Brother Jian'er...... Inappropriate! He suddenly remembered that some time ago, he had begged Li Weijian for Jia Rong's business, and now he still owes a banquet.

After a moment of thought, Jia Zhen stroked his beard and said: "Tell me to go down, prepare a banquet for a while, and I will personally go to invite Brother Jian'er to visit." ”

At that moment, Jia Zhen didn't care about the people preparing the soft sedan chair, and An Bu took a few small servants in the car and headed towards Dongfu.

Jia Amnesty Courtyard.

The eldest lord Jia Yu got a new beautiful concubine, and he had plenty of money in hand, and he only played naughty at home for two days before lingering in the Chu Pavilion of the Qinglou outside.

Although he was red from drinking that day, he returned to the mansion in a hurry.

Entering the Eryi Gate of the East Courtyard, the mother-in-law spoke, and the concubines and others came out one after another. Seeing that Jia Yu had drunk too much wine, Mrs. Xing hurriedly ordered the maid to prepare a sobering soup, and sent someone to prepare hot water.

Jia Yu entered the main room, drank the sobering soup after sitting down, the wine gradually faded, sent the concubine down, sat upright and frowned, thinking about it.

Mrs. Xing accompanied Xiaoyi and leaned over and asked, "Master has something on his mind?" ”

"Huh? Hmm......" Jia Yu didn't answer and asked: "Can you go to Lixiangyuan today?" What did my aunt say? ”

Mrs. Xing sat on the side and said, "There are a lot of good things to say, and I see what Mrs. Aunt means, and it seems that she agrees." ”

"That's good." Jia Yu was used to being extravagant, and the three thousand taels of silver were only spent in ten days. Thinking of the letter he got today, Jia Yu silently calculated, if Che Qinghe got the two thousand taels of silver, he would have this share of silver.

It's just that he also got the letter, saying that Li Weijian actually held the shares of Yicheng Water Company in his hands! Jia Yu immediately moved his mind.

He silently calculated, now the monthly income of the waterway is more than 300,000 taels of silver, and when the water company opens, it is said that it is a move to benefit the people, but it can't lose money, right?

Even if the price of water is halved, that month is more than 100,000 taels of silver, and a share is 20,000 taels!

Wealth is moving, not to mention that the eldest lord Jia Yu is an eye-catcher?

At this time, he forgot about offending Li Weijian with a word some time ago, and only secretly hated why Li Weijian was the cousin of Brother Zhu's daughter-in-law in the second room. Now it's hard to find the reason to find that Li Weijian.

Mrs. Xing saw that Jia Yu's face changed for a while, and she thought about it for a long time, and then she spoke: "Master, these two girls are getting older, and seeing that they are about to reach the age of marriage, the master has to think about Zhang Luo and Zhang Luo." ”

"Huh?" Jia Yuhu looked at Mrs. Xing suspiciously.

He rarely asks about welcoming the Spring Festival, and even Mrs. Xing, who fills the house, rarely asks, why did he talk about the Spring Festival at this time?

He didn't know that Si Qi was looking for Wang Shanbao's family to talk about it when he had time to spare, and after coming and going, this Wang Shanbao's family saw Li Weijian's rising tide, so he also moved his mind to find a good place for his granddaughter.

So I looked for Mrs. Xing early this morning, and only said that Li Weijian was a small family, and the second girl was married in the spring, and she didn't dare to say that she was married again. In this way, the marriage money is saved, then Li Weijian has a good life and a future, and the second girl is afraid that she is also very happy in her heart, wouldn't it kill two birds with one stone?

Mrs. Xing thought about it for a while, and sure enough, she moved her mind.

Jia Yu also has a reputation for being greedy and lustful, but this Mrs. Xing is just greedy for money. When she got married in the early years, for fear of being looked down upon by the Jia family, Mrs. Xing almost searched the house when she got married. (Note 1)

Entering the mansion is even more careless, and he doesn't care how ridiculous Jia Yu is, he only thinks about making money for himself.

Although the second girl marries in the spring is said to be a sum of money from the public school, how can the east cross courtyard also show one or two. If you really marry Li Weijian, this throwing fee will be just saved. So, won't the money fall into her hands the next day?

Because of this, Mrs. Xing will come out.

Seeing Jia Yu glancing over, Mrs. Xing suddenly smiled stiffly and said, "Master, what I said is not right?" ”

But seeing that Jia Yu's suspicion faded, he suddenly smiled, and clasped his palms and praised: "Yes, why is it wrong?" Hahaha, that's right! I didn't think of that! ”

Ahh Men should get married, women should get married, this is the best!

After thinking about it carefully, Jia Yu suddenly thought that if the marriage was decided, then Li Weijian would become his son-in-law, and it would not be too much to give some shares as a dowry, right?

The more Jia Yu thought about it, the more beautiful it became, rubbing his hands and getting up and pacing back and forth. He didn't have many city mansions, so he couldn't wait the most, so he immediately ordered a maid and said, "You go, give a post to Brother Jian'er, and say that I have something to discuss with him." ”

The maid responded, took Jia's amnesty post, and walked quickly towards Li Weijian's residence in the backyard.

After a while, the maid only came back by herself.

Jia Yu couldn't wait to ask, "What did Brother Jian say?" When are you coming? ”

The maid bent down and said: "Back to the master, the fourth master is now entertaining guests, just say that he will come to visit the master again when he has time to go." ”

"Huh?" Jia Yu frowned and said, "The person surnamed Li takes himself too seriously...... What kind of guest is he treating? ”

"Back to the master, it's Uncle Dongfu Zhen."

Jia Zhen?

Jia Yu pushed himself and others, and immediately became anxious: "It's bad, this Brother Zhen won't want to marry Xichun to the surname Li, right?" ”

Note 1: Xing Dequan mentioned in the original text that Mrs. Xing's marriage emptied the Xing family, which shows that she is a selfish character.
